NEW YEAR'S FESTIVAL

If you thought you've memorized every bit of the island so far, think again! Seemingly overnight, a huge festival has appeared in the plains, complete with vendors, games, contests, and of course, huge rides to scream your lungs out. Grab your friends and have a fun start to the new year! •Bobbing for apricorns and games - Try your luck at snatching a fresh apricorn and win a pokeball version for your efforts! The water's pretty icy at this time, so you might want to find a way to warm your face afterwards. There's also ring toss, Squirtle gun range, and a strange fishing game where you only ever seem to fish out Magikarp for 500 poke a try. Win big to earn plushies and masks of your favorite Pokemon! •Haunted house - It's a place brimming with Gastlys and Gengars eager to pop out of the walls and scare the living daylights out of you. Enter if you dare! •Ferris wheel - Take a break in the Ferris wheel and get a full view of the carnival. Also a fine place to pick up bizarre dates if you're desperate to kiss someone at midnight. •Food and fortune - Cotton candy, popcorn, caramel-covered berries, and everything else to get your weekly intake of salt and sugar. Stop by the vendors for a range of carnival cuisine from all the regions, then check out the Alakazam fortune teller on the way out to get your new year's fortune. Too bad his fortunes seem to read like bad fortune cookies. •Tunnel of Luvdisc - Need a private moment? Hop into a boat and cruise along the Tunnel of Luvdisc with your darling, together with the lights down low...and a river packed with energetic Luvdisc who seem eager to splash water and sometimes flip onto the boat. Just shove them back if one lands in your lap. •Gyarados roller coaster - It's the highlight of the festival! This towering coaster has all the terrifying drops and turns you want in a roller coaster, but with a tacky-looking Gyarados car as the ride. Don't let that fool you into thinking it's a ride for the younger kids, though. There's a lot more to see than what's listed here - list your own event too!

[Oh yeah, she's super mega hungry. Blue turns towards him and stares for a second -- he's familiar, but who is he.........]

That's me! [No time for too much confusion though, or at least showing it; she practically bounces when she turns all the way around.] Uh huh, I'm Blue! Who're you?

[givespoisonoak]

[He should probably mention that the food is totally free but-]

Uh, who else? Green Oak? Ring any bells?

[betabangs]

[Nnope!]

Kind of! Green reminds me of Red, who's one of my friends that I made here. HE helped me choose Bulbasaur and he's really, really nice. Are you two friends?

[givespoisonoak]

No. [Quick response!]

[betabangs]

[Oh.]

Okay. It's nice to meet you, Green! [Wo ah woah, that sure is some tasty food. And a totally cute Eevee. Bulbasaur waves his vines at the fellow Pokémon in greeting; he's gotten much better at not being a super scaredy cabbage.] And your Eevee too! It's really cute!

[givespoisonoak]

[Eevee does not give a warm response back because 1) she does not give attention to male Pokemon and 2) why is Green talking to this lady instead of her. But don't mind her; Green just spoils her too much.]

Yeah, sure. Hey, if you're hungry, you can just grab whatever you want. Looks like the vendors are giving out everything for free.

[betabangs]

[Bulbasaur stops waving his vines after a moment, choosing to wrap them around one of Blue's hands instead. He's easy to deter, sorry.]

Really? [Oh boy!! Um, um, what does she want... That bag of popcorn balls, obviously, but she needs something for her Pokémon too...] Can you show us where you got those berries? I don't think Bulbasaur'd like popcorn too much!

[givespoisonoak]

They're down this way. C'mon, I'll show you. [He's got nothing better to do now that his attempts to grab a festival date have all failed.]
